This is it. This is where the $5,000 gaming PC myth comes from! It's all true.
Threadripper 3990X review roundup: AMD’s 64-core CPU can play Crysis, but it’s not for everyone

But can it run Crysis?! Glad you asked. Besides showing the chip easily ripping through rendering tests, Linus Sebastian of Linus Tech Tips shows the CPU is actually capable of running Crysis. And no, we don't mean running Crysis on a GPU in the system with Threadripper 3990X, we mean, actually running Crysis rendered in software mode ON THE CPU. It's an amazing feat worth watching.
